would this be good for sucking up gear oil, I work on gear boxes and thought this might be great for that

Gear oil sounds a little thick. But works good with water. The batteries where out fast so have two batteries.

I don't think the motor on this is sealed and who knows what kind of vapors you could be sucking up. Having said that, man what a mess, especially the suction hose.

Ur going to make a really big mess of the filter and inside, but I sucked a lot of automotive fluids up just not huge amounts at a time and it seems to do ok. There might be something out there more directly suited to that specific task though.

I have only used it to blow debris and dust out of filters, etc., but I believe it would work. I have liked mine.

As long as it isn't oily. I use it for fuel and oil filters on heavy equipment. If they aren't slick it works good. Brake clean helps if it is though.

This unit would work fine for a parts cleaner. You will have to do some research on the appropriate media to use on the parts you want to clean.

Yes, it should work great for that. I bought it to use to clean the chain on my mountain bike and it works great.

For high end panning and tilting, no. For limited panning and/or tilting (with a little graphite put in the assemblies, and using them a bit to loosen them up), it will do in a pinch, but the results will NOT be the same as using a fluid or geared head. If you do limited pans and tilts, it might be suitable for what you need. If you do a lot of them, or a lot of "delicate" pans or tilts, then no, it is definitely NOT suited to your needs.

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

It works great for that. I use it to vacuum my car and it's very easy. You just have to adapt it for that purpose.

Should work fine for that, doesn't have the high RPM's as a Dremel does but has plenty of torque and about as much speed as any household drill does,The stand and feed lever should work better then the dremel did. nice working drill for what it costs for sure.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.

Absolutely, I use it to clean my bicycle chain. As well as the rear cassette an other metal parts.

The hose is just over 1/2", which might be a problem. I don't know if it can pump a viscous liquid like gear lube.

Yes you can do transmission Fluid, Oil, Gear oil Power steering fluid Brake fluid . its Quite a little sucker, I have the 8qt. version. I wouldnt hesitate to suck out Battery acid with it. Tough rugged, well made. The silver tube on top is aluminum. Fluids dont get in there. It has a replaceable gaskets. I love mine. Wish I had thought of this . Great tool.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.

This is good for general cleaning but if you need to do an extreme deep cleaning, you would probably want to go rent a bigger pressure washer and surface cleaner. This is more of a maintenance type surface cleaner. It does help but I had to go back over my drive way with just the wand but it wasn't that hard so it removed most of the dirt. You have to get it adjusted just right (it will start to take off literally). I have a 2700 psi pressure washer and I think for the money, it is useful. It saves my back for sure. It cleans a 12 inch path so for general usage, yes it's pretty good all the way around.

I found that it works quite well. I would not advise someone new to gear assembly- the directions are poor and you have to know what you are doing or you will ruin the whole thing. If you have played around with gearboxes and sorta know your way around, you will be fine, works well. Drives to motors to need if gear ratio set to you circumstances.

mr Sherwood this can be used for any type of gasoline and does a great gob. I would order a nother one. I don't used it with oil. I have a electric pump. but this is the best I ever used. I hope I anser your questing bob
